It can take one person to inspire millions.
I salute Tess Asplund's bravery with all my heart. Being brave does not mean being unafraid; it means being compelled by your conscience to stand up for what is right, and to stand against what is destructive - in this short, passing time on Earth. Courage is everywhere.

Imagine wanting an education - and being abducted and assaulted for it. Attacked and enslaved, because of your intelligence, courage, and the potential for self-empowerment.

And it betrays who we are as a country.""So, my fellow Americans, whatever you may believe, whether you prefer one party or no party, our collective future depends on your willingness to uphold your duties as a citizen. To vote. To speak out. To stand up for others, especially the weak, especially the vulnerable, knowing that each of us is only here because somebody, somewhere, stood up for us."President Obama, #SOTU 2016
